Message from the Head of Department

Dear students and prospective students, 

Istanbul Gelisim University Faculty of Health Sciences, Department of Speech and Language Therapy, started education in 2019–2020. Thanks to the energy that our students bring to us, our competent teaching staff, our high-level application laboratory, and our research facilities, we continue our Speech and Language Therapy education with high motivation.
 
The aim of the Department of Speech-Language Pathology, which is an important field in the health sector, is to provide students with high standards of knowledge and research conditions to protect public health and to address the problems of speech and language problems based on scientific data. The ability of students to adopt the basic principles of Speech and Language Science and to gain the ability to solve clinical problems by adhering to professional ethical values will provide the highest level of educated and self-confident Speech and Language Therapists to the health field.
 
Our graduates who receive the title of Speech and Language Therapist find a place for themselves in many areas of public and private organizations. In our country, there are career opportunities for Speech and Language Therapists who graduated from the Department of Speech and Language Therapy in the academic field as well as clinical work.
 
The science of Speech and Language Therapy is in mutual relationship and interaction with many branches of science and disciplines, and this is reflected in the content of education. Speech and Language Therapy, which has a common working area with many disciplines from neurology to psychology, and sociology education, is added to the educational content of our university as a theoretical and practical department. In this direction, our current Speech and Language Therapy education enables the training of speech and language therapists who adopt the protection of health as the first goal, and take an active role in every stage of diagnosis, rehabilitation, and follow-up of diseases related to speech and language, and contribute to the improvement of the quality of life by eliminating disabilities.
 
There is a wide working area for our graduates who are committed to ethical values, open to development, and adopt solution-oriented work as a principle. I wish success to our students and prospective students by stating that we will be happy to see Speech and Language Therapists who care about the sense of peace and professional satisfaction that clinical and scientific contributions to human health will give.
